State of Louisiana, Parish of

WHEREAS from the overlooked

Parish, during the early Spring, it was
thought proper in the interest of the
public that jury be not drawn for the
regular May Jury Term of the Sth Dis
trlct Court in and for the Parish of
Madison, and it being necessary to dis.
pose of the Criminal business of the
Parish at as early a day as practicable.
therefore il is ordered that a special
Jury Term of said Court, and for said
Parish, be and il hereby called. and be
convened on the fourth (4) Monday of
August next, the
END day OF said Month, AID, 1897
1t is further ordered, that the Jury
Commission in and for said Parish be
summoned, and that they shall draw
according to law, jury for three weeks
OF said term-the jury for the LIST week
to include names sufficient for Grand
and Petit Jury as the law requires: and
it is further ordered that this order
be duly published accordin g to law.
Thus done and signed in open Cont

Clara. Richard lost one situation
after another, and finally received
an offer from Il cousin in Nevada to

Clara hired house and opened

his letters ceased. Clara's capital
slowly disappeared. Before five
years were over it had disappeared
and debts began to press.
One of her first boarders was

pathies were enlisted, and her at

A motion to make Tallulah the
